Bayley/Paul,

thanks for that mate. blue neon. gonna have to do something about making it look less like a neon I think.

that neon on-off switch got some workout over the weekend, wot!?!!

Paul,

I reckon they gave you a sticker based upon aesthetic issues. It either looks too tough or too ugly. I cant quite decide.

The dude at Warnbro Autos went over that 31 with a fine tooth comb and found bald tyres and the lower control arm bent which we done when the clutch went trying to get it up the ramps. The clutch slipped so bad that it couldn't drive up like normal so Jeff just smashed it up. He didn't care cuz he hated the car.

Very polite way of putting it Boostzer. My way would be more like, I only just got it over the pits. Well, your tyre on that police bike looks bald too. You won't find anything, we just passed it ove3r the pits. Guess who got a yellow anyway.

They use this little paper thing and if they can't see it clearly then you get done for it. Try telling a cop that your grade 5 limo tint is legal! Didn't work. Silly cop told Jeff that he had a oil leak from a air conditioning hose to!

Go down Dixon Rd heading away from Rocko into Kwinana. Go straight through the Ennis Ave lights (corner with Toyota Ways on it) and take your 1st left. Follow that to where it does a 90 degree bend and you will see Marino Mechanics right there straight in front of you.

Being polite wasn't working so I had to try something!

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
